PRACTICAL DETERMINISM: Keys to Opportunity. An Angel's Guide to Luck and Love. An absolutely undocumented, non-scientific fantasy guide to the Universe. This book consists of a series of topics, containing “insights” gleaned from an imaginary conversation between an Angel, Zara Jane, and her boyfriend, attorney Jake Morrison, when he asks her to develop a guidebook to luck and love as part of cataloging her insights for a book he is writing. The highest level is that we are witnessing a non-religious mythological Angel, as a carry-forward from Greek and Roman stories, where occasionally the inviolate rule forbidding interaction between mortals and gods were broken. This is not in any way a religious Angel, nor is there any attempt whatsoever to bring any religious overlay to the story at all. What happens is that the lawyer seeks to find truth through logic and reason, resisting the Angel’s intuitive insight. Later, as the stories develop, the Lawyer acknowledges that the Angel’s adds insight about matters hidden that he can never gain, unless he trusts her enough to accepts her warnings or wisdom, and incorporate and weave them into his thinking. It is very interesting to see this process unfold in the stories. It should also be noted that the “guidebook” is very much a work of fiction, there are no scientific underpinnings or claims of any kind made, real or imagined, that the techniques espoused in the story have credence in actual reality. The story is told for entertainment purposes only.
